THE ASK
In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, increased security requirements put pressure on Reno-Tahoe International Airport’s ticketing and baggage facilities. TSA screening equipment and personnel occupied 35% of the ticketing lobby, reducing available space and complicating the passenger check-in process. Recognizing an urgent need for expansion, airport stakeholders turned to Sprung to provide temporary facilities that would allow airport operations to continue while existing areas underwent construction.
HOW SPRUNG DELIVERED
Sprung provided three structures to help Reno-Tahoe International Airport maintain operations throughout its renovation project: a fully insulated 15’ x 420’ passenger lobby, a 150’ x 75’ TSA facility and a 100’ x 150’ baggage handling facility. Installed alongside the existing airport buildings, these interim structures accommodated passenger and baggage processing while contractors renovated the original spaces, helping save approximately two years of construction time and $7 million in costs.
THE SPECS
- 15’ wide x 420’ long fully insulated temporary lobby
- 150’ wide x 75’ long uninsulated TSA facility
- 100’ wide x 150’ long uninsulated baggage handling structure
